The Last Fight of Human Race

by Sanyukta Suryawanshi

  ''No''she admitted.

  ''I am not the brightest pea in the pod you know'' she chuckled in embarresment.

  ''But you are the kindest pea in the pod;that's what matters'' he declared looking deeply into her eyes.

  Shook at his comment she couldn't say anything.

  ''Christy,this means she is not with us anymore.She is on a rampage'' he sighed.

  ''Oh my god.I have been wondering you know,why take so many people with you if you are only going to sedate them''she

  said gloomily.

  Thud.

  Another monstua dropped to the ground.

  Christy and Brendon were terrified at what they saw.

  ''She just wants to kill them?''Christy croaked.

  ''She has been dominating the zero group for too long.She is as power hungry as the SA''Stiles pointed out confidently.

  ''But...''Christy trailed off trying to defend a friend,she was torn between trusting a friend and not beliveing what she saw Leslie doing to the monstua's dead body.

  Leslie kept on decapitating the monstuas body.

  She kept slamming her knife onto the body,blood splattering all over her face and neck.She was so engrossed in her torture session that she didn't even realise that someone was watching her.It was hard to believe that the most amazing fbi agent that ever was,was now so unaware of her surroundings.The one who was known as shadow agent by the criminals whom she had beaten to pulp while on her undercover mission.She had the mind of a con man and fighting force of a ninja,which made her the best choice for risky undercover missions.Whenever there was mission which involved getting their life into danger,Leslie was always the first to volunteer.

  ''It is okay ,Christy.I am sure it will all be alright.''Stiles assured her.

  For an hour Stiles talked about his love that was taken away from him by the monstuas.No matter what she tried Christy always ended up listening to him talk about how much he loved his girlfriend.Christy was the only one he talked to about these things.She hated him for that,of all people he chose Christy to share this story with,every fucking time.Like always she was lost in her own thoughts ,admiring his hair ,his lips ,the way he talked,how he loved Valerie but will never love her the same way.Will never love her,will never love her,these words were stuck in her mind.She simply chuckled at her fate and a lone tear crept out her eyes.As always Stiles thought this was Christy's sympathy for his loss.

  'Everytime you talked about your love ,the words hurt me like a dagger to my heart.Not just a dagger,like a thousand daggers were ripping my heart off.If only you knew that someone loves you just as much as you loved her.

  That is how it started you know,My admiration for your love,I loved how one could love somone to that limit,but then; I didn't know that I was setting up a trap got myself.' Christy thought.

  Another tear went unnoticed by Stiles as Christy was crying inside,screaming in pain.

  'I was just wishing for someone like you to be in my life Brendon.Then why is it that you are the only thing that I want in my life right now? Why cant you see that there is someone who would love more than yourself'Christy thought.

  ''Look what I did '' Stiles chuckled whilst wiping off his tears.

  ''I made you cry too'' he said as he wiped off her tears in a sudden movement.

  ''Tis no problem '' she said softly.

  She got up from the ground and brushed off dirt from her jeans.Withouth even looking at him she started walking home.She didn't acknowledge his presence ,for the very first time.

  For the frist time Christy didn't care about Stiles,for the first time Stiles did care about Christy and for the very first time Leslie was not in control of her emotions.A lot of things were happening for the first time on the other hand a few things were happening for the last time;monstuas rule over humans,monstuas torture ,monstuas taking life of innocent humans all of this was going to end.It was the last time a human was giving half of his earned money to a monstua ,for the last time a monstua was keeping his family by force to stay with him,it was all coming to an end.

  Leslie was still oblivious of her surroundings and kept on killing monstuas and hiding their bodies.Unaware of Leslie's state Dr.Reed asked her to accompany her to a very imortant monstuas place.Now,not all monstuas can be reverted back to being humans,but Dr Reed was getting greedy,Leslie warned her about it,they had a debate over it for weeks.Everyone sided with Dr.Reed's decision,Leslie had to surrender to their decision and thus today the plan was going to take place.

  ''I cannot do this ,she is going too far too soon'' she said.

  ''Come on don't be so upset.'' he said

  ''What do you mean? This is not good,what if she loses it?'' Christy whispered

  '' I think she already did'' he said.'

  ''Lets go'' she sighed.

  ''No...'' he bluntly said

  ''Ok .Goodbye'' she said and walked back to their den.

  Brendon got up too,after Christy but he went elsewhere.

  ''To a secret place that only you and I know,

  to place where only you and I can live.

  To a place full of secrets that we share,

  To a place where we can be.

  You can be you,

  and I can be me.

  Let's go to our secret place,

  where there is only me and only you.

  You never leave me and I never leave you.

  Will there ever be a place like this ?

  Where you can love me and I can love you?

  Let's go to our secret a place that only you and I know,

  to place where only you and I can live.''

  Brendon recited this poem to his beloved ,who was right in front of him.In front of him in the form dust and sand.This was the place where is beloved Maya lived.Tears were dripping down his cheeks ,as if there was no end to it.He dropped down on his,sobbing.

  He lovingly caressed the sand in front of him,as if comforting her.As if telling her that she is going to okay.

  Christy wiped her tears as she stormed inside the dorms.When she realised this could no longer storm anywhere ,she gave up her anger and flopped onto her bed in defeat.Letting out a sigh,she closed her eyes .

  That night-

  Christy groggily tried to look at her surroundings with her half-lidded eyes.

  ''Wh-what is going on?'' she asked to the figure panting in front of the dorm's door.

  ''Christy ! Christy ! we need to get out of here ! They know! They know!'' a familiar voice called.

  After hearing the urgency and tension in the voice of the female ,Christy rubbed her eyes vigourously in attempt to force herself to wake up.

  She was shook at the figure she saw.It was hard to believe and it was hard to

  The zero squad ran and ran until there were no monstuas chasing them.They hid inside a warehouse.

  ''Christy ?'' a husky voice called from behind .

  Christy was startled by the voice but calmed down as soon as she recognised the voice.

  A smile crept up her face as the man pulled her into a hug.

  ''Come here you'' he said patting her head.

  She hugged him tightly.

  ''Martin'' she croaked.

  '' hey I am sorry for leaving like that'' he said

  ''I should have known that you must have been worried about me'' he admitted

  ''You should have not left her in the first place'' Cindy joined in.

  ''Martin ,she is my best friend infact a family,Cindy.'''she said poiting towards her friend.

  ''Nice to meet you Cindy'' Martin said.

  ''She helped me find you but we couldn't'' Christy said with a shrug

  Martin was speechless at the moment and ruffled her hair whilst letting out a chuckle.

  He opened his mouth to say something but at lack of words he just looked at Christy.

  ''Can we stay here? Martin?'' Christy pleaded.

  ''Of course you can'' he said.

  ''I am just confused that how did we not meet before if you were w
ith her '' he said pointing to Leslie with his eyes.

  ''What do you mean?'' Chrisy asked innocently.

  '' he is the person who provides us weapons Cindy'' Leslie smirked.

  Christy's eyes widened in surprise.

  ''Also we are gonna be needing more of them now Martin ,more than ever'' Leslie putforth as she stood with one leg forward and her arms crossed.

  ''Got one ready for you right here'' he said as unveiled armor suit that was covered by a ragged cloth to fool any intruders.

  ''Wow.....this looks exactly like....''Leslie trailed off as she traced the armor suit with her fingers in awe.

  ''Oh my god ! Martin my man,you are one hell of a guy'' Darren said with eyes wide.

  ''I knew you would me needing it'' Martin said.

  ''Oh yeah of course of course'' Darren agreed and nodded

  On the other hand Dr Reed had something else in her mind.An ice-cream vendor,arrived in front of Reed's place.She nodded and handed him a vile.Dr Reed casually left after buying the ice-cream.Two men from the SA facility approached the ice-cream vendor.

  ''Those buildings that we built withing minutes are good but the amount of heat it generates,ah,really.'' one of the monstua said as he put his hand out to the vendor .As he was regular customer ,the vendor immediately reciprocated his gesture by placing an ice-cream in his hand.

  ''Well,it doesn’t matter how fast we built it ,what matters is that we can't control the weather'' the other monstua commented.

  ''I know but it is just so frustrating ,what is the point of having advanced so much if the summers are the same.As soon as we get out of our offices,it's raging it'' the first monstua said.

  ''Good thing the ice- cream vendors use an upgraded stuff'' the second monstua said

  ''Seriously ,how can this thing handle all the heat,I mean you have been standing here all day but your fridge does not get affected one bit'' he said as he drummed his fingers on the ice-cream fridge.

  7 months later

  Indistinct static

  ''Whats that sound?''Christy said.

  ''the tv is on .....''Cindy stuttered.

  ''they turned it back on''Cindy said.

  ''Shit.They just declared a war'' Cindy said.

  ''This is not good .What do we do?''Cindy said as she raked her fingers through her brown hair.

  ''How the hell are we gonna fight them !''Cindy exclaimed .

  ''This cannot be happening'' Christy murmured.

  Christy looked outside the window,there were fire throwing drones outside the human colony.People walking on the streets ,ice-cream vendors were all lasered by monstuas.

  ''Uh Oh ,we need to get moving guys'' she warned as she quickly moved away from the window and started searching for weapons.

  She handed it to everyone.

  ''Come on lets go ! What are you guys waiting for !'' she yelled in urgency.

  Everyone snapped out of their daze.

  Leslie turned her head towards Christy but her eyes were glued to the window.She picked up her weapons and walked backwards still looking at the unbelievable sight.Everyone rushed out the door.

  Leslie gulped as flames erupting were the only thing visible through the window now.She shut the door behind her back.

  On one side stood the humans and on the other the better version of humans or so they said.Monstuas,savages ,upgraded humans ,there were many names to them but only one identity- People who took over the human race.New rulers of earth,by force.

  Leslie's squad was not expecting the leader of the SA,but they were certainly not expecting someone they knew .

  Cindy's eyes widened at the figure that stood before her.A smile crept her face as tears threatened to fall down.

  The monstua smirked to which Leslie responded.

  ''Getting cocky are We?''Leslie smirked

  ''Seeing your mother's reaction you think you already won don't you?''she said

  ''Well too bad for you ,I am nothing but a squadleader with no heart.'' she said.

  Anton continued his evil smirk.

  ''Cindy .Get out. You are no longer are a part of my squad'' Leslie declared sternly.

  Cindy was disappointed hearing those words and so was her son but both for very different reasons.

  ''You think only you guys are cold hearted ? You should have done your homework kid'' Leslie chuckled

  She and her squad of Thirty ,immediately stood in fighting stance.

  With the same amount monstuas were ready with their Laser guns and fire swords.

  Christy gulped as she looked at Anton.His burnt face,it was eerie that somehow it was still burning,flames were erupting from the side of his face.Just all the monstuas the wounds never heal.

  ''Commence !'' Leslie roared.

  .He shielded his body just in time with his extraordinary shield.The gigantic shield not only protects the person holding it but also sends the attacks back to the attacker.In this case,Leslie was blasted with her own bullets,she shielded herself with a old fashioned armor.She let out grunts and gritted her teeth in response.

  She got up on her feet with a little struggle.Darren noticed this from the corner of his eyes and shook his head in response.

  ''Leslie,told ya should have used their guns.old timey wont be enough'' he yelled from far end of the battlefield.

  ''Shut up Darren!''she yelled back whislt she used all her strength to block an attack from another monstua.

  Cindy watched the war following Leslie's orders.Over here ,Antone's army was fighting with Leslie's zero group and on the other,rest of the monstuas who were terrorising common people ,humans who were never a part of the rebellions's zero group.

  Martin wanted to join the battle and so did Leslie after hearing about his skills from Christy but he had something else in mind.Leslie didn't force him to take part in a battle,it was about his decision whether he wants to put his life on line.In addition to that,it also meant that he can be a great help to those unarmed humans.Even though the humans were given the obedience inducer,now that they knew their obedience was of no use to them,since they were being targeted too because of the rebels they weren't with the Zero group but they weren't on SA's side either ,they just wanted to be alive,and Martin could make sure that they were.

  He put on one of the armors he stole from the SA's offices.He slipped on his leather gloves ,immediately after he had checked his pistol.Lastly he put on his reliable hat which protected his head like an armor.He banged the door behind him like there is no coming back.He strided without a care in the world.There were monstuas in the street harassing humans but Martin had nothing to fear for he was a trusted ally. He hopped on his bike ,the bike that was provided by SA to Martin for being a great asset.

  He went inside the premises of the dome shaped building ,where everything started.He drove past the building ,the ground was huge ,a lot of space for the humans to stand to beg for their lives.Martin sped up his bike as he saw the exit gate.He drove inside ,the exit was also the entry for another one of the SA buildings but only a few were allowed to be there.Martin was one of those very few,one of those fortunates or unfortunates.He parked his bike in front of the buildings.A bulky monstua with bloody eyes let Martin in without any questions.Martin strided into the gigantic lobby,you had to admit the buildings these monstuas build were pretty darn amazing,plus the amount of time it needed them to build it was humanly impossible.Anyways,Martin was pretty confident about something.He was with SA after all.

  ''My god ,it takes me an hour to cross the darn lobby!''Martin joked with Stewie with a gray suit.That's what Martin called him,cause he always wore a gray suit...always.

  Martin entered the elevator ,he pressed the button with the number 1000 on it.The elevator made a whoosh sound as it reached its destination.Martin walked out of the elevator and inside the dark yet lit room.There were no security cameras.The monstuas didn't need one.The walls,the two walls did the work,it scanned each and every move of the person that walked in front of it.Every single freaking cell
of the body.With the security so strict no rebel ever dared to even think of going there,not that a lot of them knew about this,but even if they did it would have been impossible for them to not get fried by the strong as hell laser beams.

  He opened the door that stood in front of him,he walked inside the lavish room.

  ''Oh,Martin !'' A monstua chimed.

  '' hey ,Mr Lavenshaw'' Martin said

  Martin walked towards the sofa weakly and sat with his across the other.

  ''No....I can't do this'' he sighed.

  Lavenshaw's brows knitted together in confusion.

  ''Can't do what?'' he asked with a hint of threat.

  ''How do I explain...'' Martin trailed off .

  ''Wow,of all people I didn't expect for you to turn your back on me'' Lavenshaw pouted.

  ''It's not that'' Martin chuckled

  Martin sighs.

  On the battlefield-

  Leslie grunts as another one of the monstua lunges at her.Cindy is watching from afar with her binoculars.She gulped at the sight.Her binoculars moved a little to the left and she froze.He stood in front of Christy,towering her.Chrsity was on the ground ,helpless,he hands on either sides ,desperately trying to move

  ''Oh no please move ,just move please'' Christy kept whispering herself

  She kept crawling backwards with her hands .His face was still producing flames somehow;reminding her of what she and her friend had done.Memories of that night,that same darn night in the forest,how they ran ,how Cindy finally gave up and .accepted that this person wasn't her son but a monstua .

  ''Omg! that's it ! He is not actually her son! He is a monstua!'' Christy said to herself.

  Anton didn't hear all that she said ,he tilted his head to his right and raise one brow.

  Christy stood up slowly,Anton's eyes fixated on her.He suddenly heard a ringing voice.He then realized what had just happened.Christy had smacked the side of his head with a metal object.She stood in the fighting stance that Leslie had taught her,her chest moving up and down as she nervously waits for Anton to strike.She was nervous but wasn't ready to show it on the battlefield that she so badly wanted to join.
